Blog Description

Welcome to our blog! As seniors here at Washington State University, we've heard the same jokes about living in the Palouse...time and time again...

"So how much time do you spend in those wheatfields...?"

"No wonder you're all alcoholics...there's nothing to do in Pullman except drink..."

...and my personal favorite, a quote from Don James, retired University of Washington football coach: "Attending WAZZU is great preparation for real life. It teaches you not to expect too much."

WELL, while we have as good of a sense of humor as anyone, if not better, we beg to differ. There is plenty to do in Pullman, and we plan to prove it to you. From nightlife, to outdoor recreation, to campus events/involvement, and more, Pullman earned the nickname Pullmania for a reason.

Sure, drinking may be an (albeit large) part of that, but that's the case at most American college campuses. From our last three years in this incredible town, we've got lots of personal experience in finding more to do. In our last year here, we're dedicated to finding even more and sharing it with all of you, if for no other reason than giving you something to share with your parents when they worry about your weekend habits.

Please share this with your friends, and send us messages or comments with any suggestions or requests of things you'd like to see. We want everyone to enjoy Pullman as much as we do!

Necessities for driving in the snow.

Hey Cougs, now that we have been thuroughly warned that the snow is on its way, it's time to start thinking about getting your snow tires on! If you hope to be able to drive your car through the snowy & icy hills of Pullman, you are going to need to make the serious investment of buying a set of snow tires. Most people think chains is the cheaper and easier option, however with snow tires not only do you get a seasons worth of saftey, but most snow tires are good for over 5 years.

Here are some local tire stores in Pullman to check out:
  • Evergreen Tire: 300 Northeast Stadium Way  Pullman, WA 99163-3824
  • Perfection Tire: 1030 South Grand Avenue  Pullman, WA 99163-2143
  • Les Schwab Tire: 160 Southeast Bishop Boulevard  Pullman, WA 99163
 If you think snow tires & chains are over rated, here is a preview of snow storms to come...

Thanks & as always, Go Cougs!
